Slava Krushkal is a Professor in the Department of Mathematics at the University of Virginia. His office is located in 321 Kerchof Hall, and he can be contacted at krushkal@virginia.edu or by phone at (434) 924-4949.
Dr. Krushkal's research focuses on low-dimensional geometry and topology. His work spans several specialized areas within geometric topology, including the study of 4-manifolds, knot theory, and the interplay between algebraic structures and topological spaces. He has made significant contributions to understanding exotic diffeomorphisms, Thompson's groups, and the deformation conjecture.
His recent publications demonstrate a strong focus on the intersection of geometric topology with quantum algebra and manifold theory. Krushkal's work often involves deep connections between different areas of mathematics, particularly exploring how algebraic structures can illuminate topological properties of spaces.
Dr. Krushkal is actively involved in the mathematical community, participating in seminars and conferences related to geometric and quantum topology. He teaches courses including Topological Data Analysis and has been involved with the UVa Math Circle.
